TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 5, 1935 UNDERSTANDING NECESSARY If it was not that they are directly involved, it would be simple for young people to say, in an ivory-towerish tone, that they are living in a hectic modern age, and let it go at that. But students should realize that the affairs of the world are their affairs, that war, and hunger, and the repression of a Fascist state, are not merely vague terms and ideas that may effect other people but not them. They should realize that their life is vivally affected by society and the institutions of the world around them, and they should make an honest effort to understand as thoroughly as possible, these outside influences. The Forums, sponsored by the Men's Student Council and the Women's Self Governing Association, offer an opportunity to gain just such an understanding. At these meetings men and women, versed in the trends of modern contemporary thought, will express their ideas on current problems. It is a tribute to the liberalism of the University that such a program is sanctioned. Bruce Bilven, editor and publisher of New Republic and an authoritative observer, will be the first Forum speaker. His critical essays, as the series on the "Plight of the Pacifics," are capable analyses of modern life. His daily cables have appeared in the British Manchester Guardian, for the last ten years. Many questions face the world today. Possibly Mr. Bliven has the answer to some of them, but whether or not one agrees with him, his viewpoint should be heard by every thinking student on the campus. The government of India collects no land taxes from the farmers when crops fail. If the producer raises half a crop, then he pays but half taxes; if he raises two-thirds of a crop he pays but two-twhids his regular taxes. And still we're trying to civilize India—Oherlin Herald. FIRE OF VICTORY With a story-book finish, Kansas emerged victor in its second Big Six football game at Norman, Saturday. The deciding factor was a well executed pass from Happgood to Hayes which was good for the only touchdown of the game. As usual, Tommy McCall kicked goal for the extra point. Although the statistics show that Kansas did not play as well as the score indicates, the Jeyhawks won and that's what really counts. With two Big Six victories stored away, Ad Lindsay's men are now pointing for Nobleskow. Year in and year out, the Huskers have beat Kansas. Last year the game was decided by the narrow margin of a field goal. Perhaps this year's game may be a different story. The joyful when he always been difficult to handle when he is surrounded by violence in his eye, and that appears to be the case now. Kansas University students now have a team which they can be proud of and enthusiasm on the campus is high. Enthusiasm is a great thing but when it does go far as to destroy property, it becomes common vandalism. Go out students and cheer your team. It deserves your support. But don't pull up bulletin boards or dump over trash cans. Such evidences of team loyalty are needless and entirely useless. SNIPING Occasional sniping has been heard along the political front and only a short time will elapse before heavy filing will begin in earnest. As far as the Democrats are concerned, there is little to argue about in their candidate in 1936. While Roosevelt does not enjoy the popularity he did in the earlier part of his term, he is still strong enough to over shadow any other candidate. The only飞 in the Democratic ointment appears to be the splitting up of the party. Roosevelt's group has taken a decided left turn while the solid Conservatives of the South and West are restless and un satisfied and may break away. The main interest lies in the nomination of the Republican candidate. Various well known political figures and other less lights loom up. Landon has received a good deal of publicity and may get the powerful backing of the Hoeus news paper chain, Vandenburg, Knox and Washington, for the nomination. Right now, however, the swing is toward Landon, the budget-balancing Kansas governor. What a Republican president, if elected, would do is problematical. Surely he would not abolish the bureau and organizations set up under the New Deal. He couldn't suddenly put a stop to the immense government spending. What would happen to the NYA and the AAA? Just what path to follow and how much of the former regime to hold over would cause many a headache for a successful Republican nominee. White Republicans are casting about for issues for the next presidential campaign, how about putting in a plank promising to give the alphabet back to the people? - Manhattan Mercury.

Contributions on any subject are invited. Editor: Daily Kansan: The forthcoming election of Freshman officers should be of vital interest if every Freshman on the Hill. For the first time in history there is an independent party in the race that truly represents the Freshman class. The independent candidates are well qualified to build these sponisable positions and merit the vote of every well-thinking The Pacchacamones have ruled campus politics off and on for over twenty years. They, through their bigreheads, have dictated to the Freshmen what their policies and beliefs should be. They have run things to suit themselves, many times not to the best interests of the class as a whole but to the organization which they represent. Uprising Freshmen are tired of this dictatorial rule which the Pachacamacs have held, and feel that the time has come for a change. If every non-fraternity Freshman will go to the pilps Thursday and vote the Independent ticket, the outcome will be a glorious victory over the Freshman Pachacamacs. Without the so-called cannons, cannot could the party succeed, and now that there is courage in Party, the non-fraternity Freshmen should move their best opportunity. Now is the time, President, to defeat Pachammaste. We have our chance and our challenge. What will we do with it? Editor. Daily Kansan: A few weeks ago at the first meeting of the Freshmen who organized the Freshman Independent Movement, there was little thought of the starting of a movement like the one now existing. Were it not for the fact that so many Freshmen have voiced an interest in the movement three might still be but little hope for the success of the venture. Each day the Freshmen show greater interest in the movement—due largely to the fact that they are becoming aware that they can never be truly represented unless they, like others, demonstrate their representation by means of Freshman organization. Opportunity, for a true representation, is knocking at your doors. Freshmen. Will you let this opportunity slip away, or will you take full advantage of it, and be truly represented? J.B.

TEMPERATURE CHANGES MAKE ERITREAN CLIMATE HEALTHFUL While East African Lowlands Are Extremely Hot, Higher Altitudes Are Pleasantly Cool. Says Correspondent BY WEBB MILLER United Press Staff Correspondent Eretro, East Africa. —Remarkable misconceptions regarding the climate in this part of the world are abroad in America and Europe. The fact that it is in Africa has given the impression that it is terrificly hot and unbreatable. Most people in Europe depend whose wives are from Europe brought the wrong kind of clothes. On the bread, high altitude in the center of the country the climate in the dry season at present is similar to that of Southwestern United States. The tableland averages about 6,000 to 8,000 feet above sea level, ranging from 400 to 1,200 feet along the Red Sea coast. In these lowlands bordering the sea the climate is an inferno. The average temperature is 125 degrees in the shade in the lowlands, and seldom falls below 100 at night. Except at a few points like Manuas and Amasa, which have elevations of more than 300 points, there are few white men along the Red Sea coast of Eritrea. But within 25 miles of Mauswa the encounter sharply increases to more than 7,000 feet and you are in another world. The plateau greatly resembles Southern New Mexico or Western Texas in its appearance and climate. They have been camped during the middle of the day when the sun is hot Men can wear about the same kind of clothes as in America, but non-humans are advisable because the sun's direct rays are dangerous. Within five minutes they will be able to survive. This is the chief danger to health on the highland. It is necessary to don additional clothing immediately after dark. Everyone wears light overcoats or sweaters. We sleep under two or three blankets in a shelter to protect ourselves soldier camp at Adi Ugri. With the best wife, the officers were able to furnish only one blanket each to our party. I piled on all the camp out my overcoat, the top of a canvas roll, in with my clothes on and will slept little on accomodation. Our skin was soaked in heat after summer it was too hot to stand bareheaded in the sun. Air Thin and Refreshing Soldiers Soon Acclimated Soldiers Soon Acclimatized But within a week I began to be accustomed to the altitude, although any exertion still causes pain and exhaustion. The weather worsens as workmen here均可 become acclimatized and feel little effect. Except in the valleys, part of the plateau is somewhat acid. The vegetation is thin, hairy grass, cactus, stumped thorn trees and bushes, and a small scale. The narrow valleys raise patches of corn, a form of millet, and the main substance of the blocks. The plant resembles corn and produces a bend containing grain the size of a small shadt. As the plateau slopes toward the Ethiopian frontier the valleys broaden and the soil becomes astonishingly fertile. It is black loam like foamy soil, of a rich, reddish color. The Italian peasant soldiers are amazed by the fertility. One told me that in this garden there are rows of garden in 25 days, including pass, radishes, lettuce, turnips, ote. - the valley floors along the frontier southward of Asmara are carpeted with rich patches of dark green dura and Further cast the tabland descends rapidly toward the Studiola spp. area of Italy, where 100 to 110 in the shade. The country is semi-arid, and inhabited mostly by In the course of a day's drive I passed through three different climates varying with the altitudes. About 60 miles south of Asamara beyond Cherunia was a wide, dry plain covered with stunted grass, which is commonly seen in his wild animal movies. Insect Kills Animals Captain Alamance, commanding Fort Suree, a precipitous rock rising 3,600 feet from the plain, told me he had to bring his 152 horses and mud up from his hide on the edge of an insect whose bite killed them within one day. We saw on the plain pitifully starved cattle with prominent ribs and bumpless non-efficient starvation. I was told it would take them eight miles of passageure to regain the eight mile On the highlands there are cepycaline trees, candelabra cactus, spiny leafed eucalypt, small bushland, a caurious tree, small shrub, and a curious leaves about the size of a hedge wreath. Anywhere above 3,000 feet altitude the climate is excellent for white men and comparatively healthy, except for males in the lower parts.
